I'm Stacy Brown, and on behalf of the New Orleans Chapter of the Energy Bar Association, I would like to welcome you this morning to our presentation of Insurance for the Energy Industry in the Wake of Katrina and Rita. While the energy industry is recovering from the property damage and business interruption losses that were suffered last year, the long and even short-term effects of the industry's ability to insure for these type of losses in the future is still uncertain.

Earlier this year, Cove was recognized by the New Orleans City Business Magazine as one of New Orleans's leaders in law, due in part to his contributions to nonprofit agencies involved in the rebuilding of our city.
